Ostheim ( kölsch : Uustem or Ossheim ) is an eastern district of Cologne in the Kalk district on the right bank of the Rhine . Until the 19th century, Ostheim was a small, agricultural village in the parish of Merheim. During the industrialization of the cities of Kalk and Mülheim am Rhein , Ostheim developed into a residential area for the workers in the factories there. With the incorporation of the mayor's office in Merheim on April 1, 1914, Ostheim became an independent district of Cologne.
The bomb-related destruction of the larger neighboring districts in World War II and the associated housing shortage as well as increasing industrialization resulted in several housing developments in Ostheim, so that the number of inhabitants more than tripled between 1950 and 1980. In particular, the high-rise area on Gernsheimer Strasse built in the 1970s developed into a social hotspot with an increased need for care. Attempts are being made to counteract this development through measures on the part of the authorities and private initiatives.
geography
The old town center lies on a now dry channel in the former swampy area of the low terrace of the Rhine east of a glacial arm of the Rhine. The soil of the formerly mostly forested area is heavily loess - and clayey, the height of the mostly flat local area is around 50 meters above sea level . The geographically highest point is the Vingster Berg in the north-west of the district, which was piled up with ruins from buildings in the neighboring districts that were destroyed in the Second World War .
Ostheim borders in the east with the federal motorways 3 and 4 that run together here on the districts of Neubrück and Rath / Heumar , in the south with the federal motorway 3 on the district of Gremberghoven , with the railway line Cologne – Siegen in the south-west on the district of Humboldt / Gremberg , im West to Vingst and to the north to the Merheim district . Only at the intersection Frankfurter Straße / Vingster Ring does the town border on Höhenberg . The district is located about 7.5 kilometers east of Cologne city center.
history
In 1147 Pope Eugene III confirmed . their possessions in a deed from Deutz Abbey . In this list, a homestead is called Oestheim . The name is probably derived from the eastern location of the place within these possessions. Another theory points to the eastern location to the Maarberg and the long valley, today's Ostheimer Straße, as namesake. Whether the location of this homestead is identical to that of the village of Ostheim cannot be proven. Until the construction of the Servatius Chapel in the 18th century, only a few written mentions in distorted spelling are known about the village. Information about the structure of the village or the number of farms and their ownership are not available in the documents.
High Middle Ages to Early Modern Times
The existence of the Hardtgenbuscher Hof in southern Ostheim, which was demolished around 1850, can be proven up to the 12th century. In a code written by a monk of the Benedictine Abbey of Deutz in 1164, it is reported that Rupertus Tuitensis , the tenth abbot of the monastery, bequeathed four shillings from Harthekenrode to his monks . On the day of his death, March 4th 1129, and on the feast of St. Lawrence , August 10th, the menu plan with rolls and fish was to be improved. In a document dated March 13, 1386 it is proven that Harthekenrode and Hardtgenbusch were at least to be equated in terms of location. At the request of Archbishop Friedrich von Köln and Duke Wilhelm II von Berg , the exact boundary between Kurköln and the Duchy of Berg was described, which had existed since the integration of Deutzgau into what was then the County of Berg . It ran between the stone on the maar (between Grevenberge (today's Gremberg ) and Hatgenrode) and the stone on the Hohlweg (between Vinze, today's Vingst and Oysten, today's Ostheim ). The Hardtgenbuscher Hof with the associated Gut Große Plantage belonged to the parish of Merheim in the Duchy of Berg, but it was not included in the Ostheim village area until the 19th century.
The village was officially mentioned in a protocol of the Merheim parish dated May 13, 1710, which was created for the consecration of the Servatius Chapel, which was built from 1707 to 1710:
"On the basis of the permission given to me, Johann Heinrich Schneidewind, by my most gracious and lucid gentleman and at the request of the pastor Gottfried Krautwigh, pastor in Merheim, I have consecrated the chapel in a simple form and without holy anointing according to the rules of the Roman ritual, which was built from the foundations near the village of Oesdorf in the Merheim parish in honor of the holy bishop and martyr Servatius at the expense of the aforementioned pastor [...]. "
The name Oesdorf is probably a misspelling of the place name, because the place was mentioned as early as 1716 during the visit to the parish Merheim Ostem . This name is almost identical to Uustem , today's dialect name for the place.
The Frankfurter Chaussee ran parallel to the border since 1768 and was used by many merchants to circumvent Cologne's stacking law . The old course of the street only touched today's district area in the extreme south. Due to the peripheral location in the duchy, the village was only sparsely populated. The center developed away from Frankfurter Chaussee in the area of Dorfstraße (today's Zehnthofstraße ) and Merheimer Weg (today's Werntgenstraße ), the direct connection to the main town of Merheim. The border with Kurköln was not abolished until the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803 during the French occupation .
Development into a district
The village consisted of several farms of different sizes and a few houses until the 19th century. With the advancing industrialization of the nearby cities of Kalk and Mülheim, more and more living space was built for the workers employed there at the turn of the century. The population increased from 342 in 1890 to 832 in 1910. After the Servatius Chapel on Merheimer Strasse (today: Werntgenstrasse) was no longer sufficient for the growing number of believers, the Servatius Church was built in the immediate vicinity in 1906. The old chapel was demolished at the request of the responsible pastor Wolters from Merheim, as the church council believed that it had no art historical value. The property was sold to Berggeist AG Brühl , which built a transformer house there. It was not until 1912 that the parish of St. Servatius became independent.
In 1904 Ostheim was connected to the suburban railway line A from Cologne to the Königsforst . In order to ensure the power supply of the suburban railway and the expected increased energy requirements of the surrounding growing places, the city of Cologne built an electricity station in the immediate vicinity of the stop in the same year. Despite the increasing population, only very few businesses settled in the village. In 1914, only 60 Ostheim citizens were employed in the brickworks Lüngen & Co and Karl Kuhlmann , the oven door factory Karl Höffler and the electricity company, the other workers mainly worked in the neighboring industrial locations of Kalk and Mülheim. Around Saarbrücker Straße, the Saar settlement was the first large-scale construction project in the district with one and two-family houses.
time of the nationalsocialism
With the opening of the Ostheim air base in June 1937, the place gained importance in the Third Reich . The airport facilities extended from Ostheim to today's Neubrück; the depots were in the Königsforst, the accommodations in Merheim. Jagdgeschwader 234 (later Jagdgeschwader 26 " Schlageter ") was based in the air base and mainly aircraft of the type Bf 109 were stationed at the base . With the construction of the Düsseldorf-Frankfurt motorway (today: BAB 3), Ostheim was divided up in 1936/37. East of the autobahn was now the air base, west of it the village of Ostheim. The road to Merheim, which was now called "Ostmerheimer Strasse", was named after the aviation pioneer Bruno Werntgen . On the other side of the autobahn it remained at "Ostmerheimer Straße".
On April 13, 1945, the Ostheim airfield was occupied by the Americans. Since the air base was only about 10 kilometers from Wahn Airport, the Allies saw no need for maintenance - the airport facilities were therefore torn down. Most of the barracks have been preserved and are now used as residential buildings, commercial buildings and the Merheim hospital. The Large plantation was from 1944 a site of heavy anti-aircraft batteries of air defense in the Cologne area.
From 1950 until today
After the Second World War , new living space was urgently needed for the employees of the Kalk and Mülheim industrial sites . Due to the large rural open spaces and the good transport connections, two further large-scale one to two-family house settlements were built in the southern part of the village in the 1950s: the Post Estate (1952/1953) and the Badener Viertel (1956/57). In the north, between 1954 and 1958, the non-profit public limited company for housing construction built the first social housing estate . The population increased from 3,000 to 8,900 during this period. The Church of the Resurrection was built in 1953 for the Protestant community of Kalk and was consecrated on March 21, 1954. The church was assigned to the Protestant community of Ostheim in 1957 when it became independent. From 1961, the Catholic community had a second place of worship, the Church of the Holy Angels .
At the beginning of the 1970s, a residential area for around 2500 residents was built on Gernsheimer Strasse in a compact high-rise building. Due to high unemployment and the simultaneous neglect of living space, this street in particular developed into a social hotspot. The city of Cologne and the church are trying to counteract this development through support measures, such as the use of street workers .
population
Population structure and population development
Structure of the population of Cologne-Ostheim:

Housing conditions and development
The size of the 5513 apartments in Ostheim, 29.6% of which were publicly subsidized, averaged 73.2 square meters. In 2014, 1002 single and two-family houses and 487 multi-family houses were listed in the statistics of the Office for Urban Development. The average living space per citizen was 33.6 square meters. Around 35.4% of the district area is shown in the zoning plan as residential building space, 56% as green space, 4% as commercial space, 4% as common area and 0.5% as water area.
In addition to a predominantly mixed development with different single and multi-family houses between the old town center on Zehnthofstraße and Rösrather Straße, several housing developments were built in the other areas of the district that were designated as living space after the Second World War. In the south of the village, private investors mostly built single and smaller apartment buildings, in the north housing associations built mostly multi-storey apartment buildings.
Saar settlement, Baden district and Bergstrasse district
The one- and two-family housing estate built around Saarbrücker Strasse in the early 1930s was the district's first uniformly structured residential area . The construction of the settlement was necessary because there was not enough building land for higher-quality living space for the better-paid employees of the factories in the neighboring industrial sites. From the 1950s onwards, construction of this type of residential building was continued in the adjacent areas with the Badener Viertel (1956) and the Bergstrasseviertel (1959). Cities in Saarland , Baden and on Bergstrasse served as namesake for the streets of the individual districts .
Humboldt settlement
In the early 1940s , Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz (KHD) built 15 simple barracks in the south of the town as accommodation for forced laborers, each with around 230 square meters of living space. Starting in 1944, these individual houses were divided into three parcels of equal size in order to offer replacement living space to bombed-out employees of the plant. The city of Cologne, which later took over ownership of the simple residential buildings from KHD, had wanted to demolish the estate since the 1980s due to the poor state of construction in some cases, which is why tenant-free buildings were not re-let. Due to the protests and initiative of the residents of the so-called Humboldtsiedlung , the project has not yet been implemented. According to the tenants, the best solution would be to take over ownership of the apartments themselves.
Buchheimer Weg settlement
As part of the so-called debunking program , the non-profit corporation for housing construction built a residential area between Buchheimer Weg, Grevenstrasse and Servatiusstrasse between 1954 and 1958 with 1,037 apartments, which consisted of 99 up to eight-story apartment buildings and 36 single-family houses. The majority of the residential buildings were built with three to four storeys. The client integrated a row of shops and a communal wash house into the settlement. From 2002 to 2011, many apartment buildings were extensively renovated, others were demolished and replaced by new buildings. The single-family houses were previously sold to private individuals. After the renovation measure was completed, the number of rental apartments within the settlement was reduced to 959. The cost of the renovation measure was estimated at 102.2 million euros.
Gernsheimer Strasse settlement
On the area of a former Prussian parade ground in the north-west of the town, living space for 2500 people was created in the early 1970s in a compact high-rise construction. Some of the houses were subsidized with public funds, others were sold as condominiums. The up to 14 storey high residential buildings were initially viewed by the public as a prime example of modern social housing , but just a few years later the residential area was perceived by a large part of the population as unattractive, so that the street gradually became neglected. In 2002 the estate was included in the social space with increased need for renovation funding program. In 2007 around 2800 people lived in the settlement, around 70% of whom have a migration background .
Waldbadviertel Langendahlweg
As early as the 1960s, the city of Cologne leased a 145,000 square meter arable land in the south-western district between Saarsiedlung and the Vingst open-air swimming pool , which was owned by a farmer who was then resident. Originally, the area was intended for an extension to the Evangelical Hospital in Kalk and an old people's home for the Clarenbach Foundation in Cologne - but this plan was discarded early on. Since around 16,000,000 euros in rent have been paid to the farmer and his heirs for this fallow land , the area is known by the population as "Millions of Fields" .
Despite massive public protests, the Cologne City Council decided in 2008 to build 640 residential units, 400 of which were to be integrated into apartment buildings. The citizens of Ostheim feared that the technical and social infrastructure of the district would not allow the influx of around 2000 new residents. After several public hearings, the city of Cologne changed the development plan so that the foundation stone could be laid in autumn 2012. The first apartment buildings were ready for occupancy in spring 2014. By 2018, 450 rental units, some of which are subsidized with public funds , are to be built in mostly three-storey residential buildings, as well as up to 240 private homes. Almost all streets were named after women who were related to the former state of Baden . The access road to the new development area bears the name of the former Kalker district chairman Hans Offermann.
Infrastructure and economy
traffic
With Frankfurter Strasse ( B 8 ), Ostheimer Strasse and Rösrather Strasse (L 284), the place is connected to the Cologne road network. Although several motorways roam the local area, Ostheim does not have its own federal motorway connection. The federal highways 3 , 4 and 559 can be reached within a few minutes via neighboring districts.
The Ostheim stop of the Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe is one of the main transfer stops in the city on the right bank of the Rhine, because the tram line 9 and the KVB bus lines 151, 152, 157 and 191 cross there. The light rail line connects Ostheim with downtown Cologne in thirteen minutes . Many parts of the city on the right bank of the Rhine can be reached with the bus lines without having to change trains. Since December 2014, the new bus route 191 has been connecting the new somewhat remote Waldbadviertel with the center of the district. Via the suburban and regional train station Cologne Frankfurter Str. , Which is on the suburb of Gremberghoven , the lines S 13 and RB 25 provide direct connections to Cologne / Bonn Airport , Troisdorf , Cologne Central Station and the Bergisches Land .
Education and care
In 1981 built school center Ostheim that's Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium and the Albert-Schweitzer-Realschule home. The school center has a three-part multi-purpose hall, two small multi-purpose halls and a large outdoor sports facility which is also used for external sporting events. The Kurt Tucholsky Secondary School , which was previously located there, had to move to Neubrück in 2007 due to lack of space. The city of Cologne set up a branch of the Martin-Köllen Förderschule on Edisonstrasse in the direct vicinity of the Zehnthofstrasse primary schools. After the branch of the special needs school was relocated to Humboldt / Gremberg in the summer of 2014, the James-Krüss-Grundschule (community elementary school) and the Catholic elementary school Zehnthofstraße have been using the site alone. In addition to two Catholic kindergartens, there is a municipal kindergarten and a day nursery.
Social projects
The Open Door (OT) Ostheim has existed on Buchheimer Weg since 1958, offering children and young people a wide range of leisure activities, as well as youth careers and homework help. OT works with four full-time supervisors and up to ten freelance workers. The facility is run by the church association to the holy angels and St. Servatius e. V. worn.
The Veedel e.V. , founded in the early 1990s . In addition to a district office, which citizens in need and seeking advice can turn to, V. also set up two job exchanges, a clothing store and a youth pavilion. The project, which works with 20 voluntary and one full-time social worker, received the “ Socially Integrative City 2002 ” award from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2002 .
In the song Dä Manni us Ossheim in 1979 the Bläck Fööss sing about the district and its social structure.
Public safety and rescue
In 2003, fire station 8 of the Cologne professional fire brigade was set up on Hardtgenbuscher Kirchweg . The additional construction was necessary because the surrounding fire stations could not guarantee adequate fire protection at the required speed for the eastern parts of the city. Ostheim is the location of the Cologne rescue station of the Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe . The place is looked after by the Police Inspection Southeast , which appoints a district official as a contact person for the population of Ostheim.
Business and Commerce
The round house completed in 1996 at the main intersection of Rösrather and Frankfurter Strasse and the row of shops on the opposite side of the Sparkasse KölnBonn built in 1976 are considered the center of the district. In addition to around a dozen retail stores located there, there are three supermarkets, two petrol stations and several other specialist dealers in the rest of the district. Ten inns and four restaurants are operated in Ostheim.
In the early 1970s, the construction of extensive production facilities for the commercial vehicle manufacturer Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz was planned in the southeast of the town. Due to financial difficulties of the group, this project was not realized. The approximately 2.5 hectare open land that was not required was declared commercial space by the City of Cologne. Despite decades of intensive efforts to locate small or medium-sized companies in the newly created Herkenrathweg industrial park , only six smaller companies were located there. The rest of the district area is shown in the zoning plan as residential or common area, so that no new business settlement is possible there.
Culture and sights
societies
In addition to the football club SSV Ostheim 1931 e. V. , which has had a new club facility on Servatiusstrasse since 2007, the Sportschützengesellschaft Köln-Ostheim 1963 e. V. and the gymnastics and sports club DJK Ostheim, there is also the animal protection association Menschen für Tiere e. V and Pit Bull & Co. is home. The Ostheim Kolping Family celebrated its 50th anniversary in June 2007.
Regular events
The annual parade on Carnival Sunday is organized by the Friends of the Ostheim Carnival Parade. The local shooting festival traditionally takes place on the weekend after Pentecost. The Veedel e. V. organizes the Ostheimer Bürgerfest "We are Ostheim" with the support of local associations and businesses.
Green spaces
The 64-meter-high Vingster Berg, a wooded hill heaped up from rubble from the Second World War, is part of a green belt criss-crossed with walking paths that borders on Merheim, Höhenberg and Vingst. A circular route on the area of the former Plantage estate on Herkenrathweg runs past agricultural areas and numerous overgrown fruit trees. The large allotment garden Alter-Deutzer-Postweg is located in the southwest of the village.
Buildings and monuments
Sacred buildings
The simple neo-Gothic brick church of St. Servatius was built in 1906 according to plans by the diocesan master builder Franz Statz and consecrated on December 23, 1906. From 1962 to 1964 the nave was extended by two bays according to plans by the architect Kurt Faber. At the end of the renovation work, a marble altar from St. Peter's Church in Cologne was taken over. Instead of a tower, a high bell rider was placed on the gable roof of the nave.
In 1960/61 the architects Josef Bernard and Fritz Schaller built the simple hall church to the Holy Angels on Buchheimer Weg. On the gable roof sits a bell rider with a pointed helmet, which has been crowned by an angel made of sheet copper since 1960. The organ with seven registers, built in 1868 by Franz Sonrek and thoroughly overhauled in 1965, was taken over by St. Servatius in 1977. All the windows in the church were designed by Paul Weigmann from 1986 to 1988 .
The Protestant Church of the Resurrection in Heppenheimer Strasse was planned by the Hamburg architect Gerhard Langmaack and consecrated on March 21, 1954 after nine months of construction. The unadorned brick building with a pointed roof is plastered white. The striking square tower attached to the nave is crowned by a round helmet roof. There are twelve circular openings on each side of the tower, which ensure that the bells sound well.
Industrial monument
The steam power plant built in 1904 by the city of Cologne in the immediate vicinity of the tram stop lost its main task of supplying power to the surrounding districts on April 1, 1912, as the city concluded a long-term electricity supply contract with the Rheinische AG for lignite mining and briquette production . Today it serves as the RheinEnergie AG substation for feeding electricity into the Cologne light rail network . The Cologne transport company uses parts of the building as a building yard. Another part of the house serves as an artist's studio. The gable walls are decorated with the old Cologne coat of arms . The back of the coat of arms shows twelve flames in the lower field instead of the heraldically correct eleven.
milestone
In 1818 a Prussian all-mile obelisk made of trachyte rock was erected on the corner of Bensheimer- and Frankfurter Strasse . From this milestone , the distance to Cologne is one Prussian mile (7532.48 m). Due to the soft stone, the monument is badly weathered and in need of renovation. In an earlier restoration attempt, the last "e" was removed from Meile, so the inscription below the Prussian eagle now reads: "Cöln 1 Meil".
Secular buildings
The Plantage estate on Frankfurter Strasse 912, newly built in 1850 by the Cologne metal wholesaler Clemens Schmits , has not been farmed since the early 1990s. The Hardtgenbuscher Hof stood on the same spot before 1850 and was demolished. The estate was used by the businessman Schmits as a country estate "in the countryside". The buildings used for agriculture were leased. A corner balcony with iron bars was added to the residential building of the courtyard, which provided an overview of the Große Plantage estate, which is popular with urban hobbyists . A tire dealer, a concrete pump rental company and several other small businesses have set up shop in the brick buildings that have been preserved.
The listed manor house of the Meierhof, built in 1846 at Zehnthofstrasse 61, was renovated in the 1990s and converted into residential space suitable for senior citizens. The other parts of the courtyard were demolished at the same time and replaced by new buildings. This courtyard building is often mistakenly confused with the Zehnthof, which burned down at the end of the 19th century. The house and a farm building of the former Lussem farm at Zehnthofstraße 75 are also still completely preserved.
